Helm

Helm consists of two parts, a server called tiller and a client called helm. Tiller is automatically started by Rancher and is launched in the kube-system namespace. The helm client is installed in the embedded kubectl CLI.

Verifying Helm

Before we start using helm to launch applications, let’s verify that the helm client can talk to helm server( i.e. tiller). Use helm version in the embedded kubectl CLI, which is available in Kubernetes -> CLI.
